I’ve always had horrible Valentine’s Days.
Valentine’s Day itself, like most holidays in the modern era, has been heavily influenced by commercialism that focuses on the appeal of romantic fantasies.
When I was 19, I celebrated my first Valentine’s Day while being in a relationship. I was so excited, but didn’t know what the rules were. What should I get him, or was I even supposed to get him something?
January is the best time of year for gym owners. You all come. It’s great! And then, by Valentine’s Day, you’re not coming in anymore.
Is Valentine’s Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine’s is supposed to be a day about romantic love.
I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine’s Day stands for because it is about love.
Nobody loves me as much as I love me, so I guess I’ll just be my own valentine.
I think diamonds represent luxury, indulgence, and class. So any time you can incorporate a gift that is synonymous with all those attributes, you know the other person will love it. I would challenge someone to find something that better represents Valentine’s Day more than diamonds!
Since Chip and I try to go on a date night once a week, we don’t feel the need to keep holidays like Valentine’s Day all to ourselves. We set the table fancy, we all get dressed up, and we serve a big, beautiful candlelight dinner. It’s our kids’ favorite, too.
Idealizing the reality of past romances won’t do you any favors as you face Valentine’s Day alone.
I have written a raucous valentine to a poet’s dream and agony.
Valentine’s day has been reduced to a marketing gimmick. Buying diamonds for your beloved has no appeal for me.
I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I’d bring her flowers and candy.
I really want to do something that is very, very deep within realism, like a ‘Winter’s Bone,’ or a ‘Blue Valentine.’
‘Blue Valentine,’ Derek Cianfrance’s emotional gunslinger of a film, tears into the topic of moribund marriages with an honesty that’s hard to come by in Hollywood these days.
I have never once celebrated a Valentine’s Day as a romantic holiday. For me, it’s another opportunity to tell my kids or whoever how much I love them. I hang pink crepe paper and make heart-shaped pancakes!
Usually, Valentine’s Day comes and goes with just a day or two of news media attention to courtship and marriage.
I don’t watch most of the movies I’m in. Ever. They’re like a bad relationship where, after you break up, you don’t want to look over all the valentines.
I remember being away somewhere, and I had forgotten it was Valentine’s Day with a person, and that was very embarrassing.
Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!
I’m a bit of a curmudgeon. I don’t like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s and Halloween.
Valentine’s Day is the hardest day of the year for a woman to get out, but everybody who is anybody and single is out that night.
I have never celebrated Valentine’s Day in my life.
All of us, consciously or unconsciously, set out to have the best possible love life. Valentine’s Day simply shines a light on the degree to which that didn’t – or hasn’t yet – materialized.
If you don’t have a valentine, hang out with your girlfriends, don’t go looking for someone. When it’s right, they’ll come to you.
When I retired from the NFL, my son was born on my birthday two weeks later, which is Valentine’s Day. Imagine having a son born on your birthday.
‘Endless Love’ is such a perfect love song for a wedding or for a Valentine, because that is the committed kind of endless love. All the lyrics are perfect.
My first Valentine gift was a cute little pup gifted to me by my family, which I had always wished for.
My birthday is two days before Valentine’s Day so it has always been about that rather than romance.
Absolutely, there is a connection between food and love. I always say, when there’s love in my heart or I’m feeling particularly good, the food comes out that much better. And so I think Valentine’s Day is a special day.
I do not want to limit my celebration of ‘love’ to just twenty-four hours in a year. I would like to pamper and be pampered all through the year. And so, the concept of Valentine’s Day does not interest me at all.
I like to keep Valentine’s dinner light so you don’t crash after and can keep the fun going through the night!
Valentine’s Day isn’t always as much fun as many of us would like.
What I find most disturbing about Valentine’s Day is, look, I get that you have to have a holiday of love, but in the height of flu season, it makes no sense.
In high school, I was crazy in love, and I would make handmade construction paper valentines every month for our monthly anniversaries. Then I’d go early in the morning and tape one to her car. It sounds sweet, but let’s be honest: it was a little weird. I was probably crossing some lines.
‘In Bruges’ featured two hit men on a chatty stroll in Belgium, and certain people’s passion for it is fit for Valentine’s Day. But it was Tupperware Tarantino to me.
I think Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays like New Year’s where people develop such high expectations that even if it’s a decent day, it doesn’t live up, and it’s disappointing.
When I was 17, I had my first proper girlfriend, and on Valentine’s Day, I painted a canvas of her, bought her a massage, put flowers on the stairs, and ran a bath.
Bullet for My Valentine, we’re bros. We’ve been in the trenches with those guys.
Valentine’s Day is the biggest single day of the year, the biggest sale day of the year.
